Me and my Bike
This video is the 2011 winner of the "1 Minute To Save the World" contest. This contest is an international short film competition opened to anyone having something to say on climate change.
The video was created by a group of children from Nairoby in Kenya, named "Wafalme". This is a good advertisement for an alternative to cars.
"Many people in Africa have no access to transport of any kind. Walking can take up-to 4 hours per day (collecting water, or walking to school). The burden can cripple a family, hampering work and education opportunities. A bicycle cuts travel time to a fraction, even carrying passengers and heavy loads. Bikes give families the extra time to earn, learn and enjoy life." source re-cycle.org

As we are in Europe re-learning to use our bicycles in the day to day life (go to work, get groceries ...), developping countries could directly adopt this best practice.
Well done to the authors! Really enjoyed watching (and rapping). Wojciech
